I think it depends what your definition of death is.... I think the guys who started this thread is just hoping for the day WP marketshare passes that of IOS. And WP8.1 is a huge milestone towards that.
and how do you figure not much? People on the low end don't buy phones for the same reasons as people on the high end and since the 520 is the top selling phone for its price range, it could ear away at it.
The 520 sales are what, about 2 or 3 million per quarter? That's 2 days worth of Android sales. For comparison purposes though we'd have to compare 520 against low end Android. If half are low end, then we're still looking at well under a week's worth of Android low end sales. WP has a long way to go to make a noticeable difference.
that's why I said how much it'll eat into, as opposed to "will it destroy Android"
no, ios will be it's own dead. It's already happening
No. In fact, if Apple makes a 4.7 and 5.5 inch screen iPhone it will probably be the end of WP. What good is an OS if you don't have a device that people want.
Maybe android may die in the low end side never in high end side.

No. Low end android devices make up the bulk of all android. Even low end android devices can run or have access to crucial apps someone might want. Why get this $60 WP if this $50 Android device can get all the apps the WP device has and more.

That is a concern. If apple makes large screened iPhone, they might get people from android and WP.
